Michael Chandler Opens Up About Not Feeling Worthy Of Facing Conor McGregor
Michael Chandler
A kid from a small town in Missouri, dreaming of the big leagues in the UFC. That’s Michael Chandler for you, and he’s come a long way since those days. He burst onto the UFC scene like a firework with the vicious knockout against Dan Hooker. But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs, and Chandler’s been on quite the rollercoaster ride since then.
Michael Chandler’s been eyeing a fight with the one and only Conor McGregor. But it’s been two whole years of waiting. Fans would assume that Chandler would be chomping at the bit. But here’s the kicker – he’s been battling some serious inner demons.
“He [my inner voice] does not think I deserve this fight but I do…I do hear the doubters, and I do hear the naysayers, and I do hear the haters, of course. We just keep on moving forward, and even though that little guy from that little town doesn’t believe that we were created to create this crazy life that we have, we just pat them on the back and say, it’s okay. Just keep on coming. We’re gonna keep on climbing,” Chandler told Action Network.
Chandler’s openness about his struggles is refreshing. It reminds us that even tough guys have soft spots. He talked about that voice in his head as if it were an old frenemy. He used to hate it, but now he’s learning to live with it.
Michael Chandler’s journey is a testament to the human spirit. He’s not just fighting opponents in the octagon. He’s wrestling with expectations, self-doubt, and the weight of his small-town roots. But he’s not throwing in the towel.
Michael Chandler Supports Jon Jones Amid Tom Aspinall Fiasco
Jones has climbed to the top of the mountain, becoming the youngest champion ever. He still remains unstoppable. But every hero needs a nemesis, and for Jones, that is Tom Aspinall. Fresh-faced and full of fire, Aspinall wanted a piece of the champ.
Jones decided he’d rather face Stipe Miocic, an older fighter who hadn’t stepped into the octagon in years. Fans were not happy. But in the crowd of naysayers came a familiar voice, that of Michael Chandler. He knows very well that a single opponent doesn’t define your legacy.
“Legacy is not tied to a certain opponent… bet on yourself,” wrote Chandler via X.
Michael Chandler knows a thing or two about legacy. He’s been fighting tooth and nail to build his own, and he gets it. Whether Jones fights Aspinall or Miocic, his legacy is already set in stone. He’s like Michael Jordan of UFC, minus his baseball career.
